Mayo Kobayashi
Biography
I mostly make cut-out animation. It would be great if children and adults could take a look at my work. I was born in Tokyo in 1994 and graduated from the Department of Intermedia Art at Tokyo University of the Arts in 2018. I went on to study animation in the same university's Graduate School of Film and New Media where I will receive my master's degree in March 2022.
